Olá, oi, hallo, hoi! I’m Marianne – professional German teacher with 10+ years of experience, certified career coach and former finance manager (MBA).
I’ve been living in Latin America for several years – first in Perú and now in sunny Paraguay. Languages are my passion: I speak English, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese, and as a learner of Spanish and Guaraní I know your challenges. In my free time I enjoy pilates and cafés.
My lessons are straightforward and focused on what most learners struggle with: German grammar that finally makes sense. Whether you need interview prep, fluency, or just speaking practice – I’ll guide you step by step.Me as a Teacher
I focus on making German grammar clear and understandable. My lessons are interactive and step by step, combining explanations, exercises, and real-life examples. I encourage questions, adapt to your pace, and make sure every student feels supported.
With a background as senior finance manager (MBA) and certified career coach, I also support professionals with interview training and practical workplace communication.
I speak Portuguese, Dutch, and English, and as a Spanish learner I understand the challenges of learning a new language.
I make German learning fun, practical, and results-driven. Every lesson is focused on your goals so you’ll see progress and feel motivated to keep going.My lessons & teaching style

Wow, I can't believe it, I've been one of Marianne's students for about a year now, and I am stunned on how much progress I have made tackling German Grammar because of her! It was such a daunting task before I started my lessons with Marianne and I often wondered if I would ever be able to get the hang of this beautiful and complex language. I am happy to say that it is no longer a large confusing mess, but something that has a wonderful logic to it and every lesson, more pieces of the overall puzzle become more clear and make sense to me. Marianne is a fantastic teacher and helps with every question and guides you through the most complicated of sections with ease and makes things easy to understand. I am so happy I was able to find her. Definitely give her a shot; she is worth it!

I've had the pleasure of taking Marianne's "Konversationskurs" in German for the last three months now. Whilst I already had a fairly strong grammatical knowledge of the language, she has in such a short span of time completely transformed my confidence and ability to converse fluently in German. Her attention to detail, and collaborative and patient approach, makes one feel totally comfortable in class and motivated to continue learning. Danke dir, Marianne!

I passed my B2 exam at the Goethe-Institut earlier this year. This was possible thanks to studying with Marianne. Learning German with Marianne is targeted and focuses on the areas that are important to me. My focus is on grammar and speaking. Marianne has a clear understanding of German grammar and can teach it easy and fast! I have now achieved my goal of getting a job in Switzerland and continue improving my speaking by having conversation classes with Marianne.

Marianne is very patient and is teaching me the tricky bits of German that don't translate well from English. I like working with the pictures she brings to lessons, too!
